Almost watched that Stuart Lee clip all the way to the end through excrutiating misophonia as a testament to how much I hate Rod Liddle
There is some awful transphobic group calling themselves the Vancouver Lesbian Collective putting up posters around downtown. I need to get some trans supportive stickers to put over them. Unfortunately the posters are very large and pasted on.

Side note: the revelation that the PSNI have been spying on BBC journos is a side-effect of the PSNI arresting two filmmakers (including Kneecap movie producer Trevor Birney) for making a documentary about how NI police colluded with the UVF killers at Loughinisland.
